Abstract
An image forming apparatus for forming an image composed of an assembly of a large number of picture elements arranged in a matrix. The apparatus includes a detector for detecting whether or not each of the picture elements is positioned in a corner of the image and a correcting circuit for reducing the size of the picture element positioned on the corner of the image, so that the picture element on the corner of the image acts to improve the linkage between the picture elements in the peripheral portion of the corner.
